COVID-19

Sorry?

"circumstances are different now" ?

"circumstances are different now" ?

It's surely obvious that we're no longer in the crisis phase of the pandemic, isn't it?

That was the opinion of Dr John Campbell quite a few months ago. Are you sure that wasn't 'fact checked' and found to be bollocks?
I think there's an obligation, isn't there? C'mon, still a few weeks before Pfizer's year end, those shots might be on sale or return. Get it while you can (1 in 800 is not too bad!)

Needs 'fact checking' 😉

Post mortem finds evidence of vaccine damage in the heart and brain:

No great surprise; people die from the side effects of taking aspirin or paracetomol in rare cases. As always, it's a question of weighing the risk vs the benefit.

BTW I note that the paper doesn't establish the vaccine as the cause of death.

If only that had been possible at the time the vaccines were encouraged/mandated.

What I find encouraging is that via post mortem it seems relatively straightforward to determine whether the pathological changes are caused by the vaccine or the illness.

It was, and I don't think any rational person could fail to be delighted with the ultimate outcome in terms of lives saved and managing the pandemic.

Our findings show that immunity from COVID-19 infection confers substantial protection against infection from pre-omicron variants. By comparison, protection against re-infection from the omicron BA.1 variant was substantially reduced and wanes rapidly over time. Protection against severe disease, although based on scarce data, was maintained at a relatively high level up to 1 year after the initial infection for all variants. Our analysis suggests that the level of protection from past infection by variant and over time is at least equivalent if not greater than that provided by two-dose mRNA vaccines.

Study partly funded by The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation. The conclusions are probably not too helpful to them

Interesting, especially if true. But there's an important point to remember - a dose of COVID might give you serious illness or death, instead of medium-term immunity.

Given what we've known about virology for years, unsurprising. Natural immunity wilfully ignored for profit, livelihoods lost for no good reason.

Just making a note of the location of this for future reference 😁
